Should comatose individuals be allowed to marry each other?

There is a couple in Ohio on a hospital ward that communicate their affection for each other by mumbels, gargels, and gestures when the nursing staff takes them into the day room.
This interaction between comatose patients has often been seen but, very little is understood about it.
Most recently the gay/homosexual couple indicated their desire to be WED by wrinkling their noses every time marital issues were discussed between the nursing staff.
The reason behind the nursing staff believing this is that the couple were cought one evening in one anothers bed trying to have intercourse.
The staff indicated that this was not the first time it had happend.

Yeah, seriously. Where the hell is this coming from? It's not that I'm doubting the story...okay I am. But if there is an even remotely credible source behind this, I'm interested.

If you mean retards in the actual use of the word i.e. mentally disabled in any way, fuck you. It's like eugenics all over again.

Of course they can get married so long as they are willing and capable of carrying out all requirements imposed by the State. Since they comatose, this seems unlikely, in fact logically impossible when one considers the requirements (ie show consent) and the definition of comatose... :rolleyes:
